This painting was made in 2020 during the height of the COVID pandemic. Filipino laborers were being forced (or have no choice but) to come to work without the option of WFH or the luxuries others have. Some of them are also being executed for violating quarantine when purchasing essentials and not having the benefit of Grab or deliveries.
In some ways, it also ties into their other concerns like income inequality and capitalism being bad, as someone mentioned already.
It’s not making a 1:1 comparison to Auschwitz (I think that goes without saying - it’s a catastrophically reprehensible event without equal), but merely using the imagery around it as inspiration.
